A special court in Mumbai has issued Non-Bailable Warrants (NBW) against two individuals accused in connection with the shooting incident outside actor Salman Khan's residence in Bandra. This decision follows a request from Special Public Prosecutor Wajid Shaikh, representing the crime branch.

Shaikh moved two applications for NBWs against Anmol Lovinder Singh Bishnoi, also known as Bhanu or Bhaiji, and Rawtaram Santdas Swami, alias Rohit Godara. Assistant Commissioner of Police Dattatraya Nale and other crime branch officers were present during the hearing.

Shaikh argued that the investigation revealed the involvement of Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi in the crime, operating through an organized crime syndicate. The case invoked provisions of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), with the competent authority issuing sanctions accordingly.

According to Shaikh, Anmol Bishnoi was in contact with associates via the Signal app and provided financial support, firearms, and explosives. Anmol had also claimed responsibility for the act in social media posts and threatened to kill the actor. The IP address for these posts was traced to Portugal, indicating Anmol's involvement from abroad.

Shaikh further detailed Rawtaram's involvement, noting that both accused had committed similar offenses while residing outside India, with a case registered against them in Jawahar Police Circle, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Efforts by Mumbai Police to apprehend the accused in Punjab and Rajasthan were unsuccessful, leading to the issuance of Look Out Circulars. Shaikh argued that NBWs were necessary to proceed with issuing Red Corner Notices against them.

Special Judge BD Shelke, after reviewing the chargesheet, stated that there was sufficient reason to believe the accused had absconded and would not comply with summons. Therefore, the court issued standing non-bailable warrants under Section 90(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to secure their presence and facilitate further legal procedures.
